Chapter 7 - THE REPLACEMENTThe truth was worse than Evelyn imagined.
Marcus had discovered that Blackwood Industries had been secretly creating digital identities, forged financial histories, and even physical doubles for powerful clients.
The man who had appeared in the tower was one of them.
A biological twin.
A replacement.
Someone who could become Marcus Blackwood.
Someone who could inherit the company.
And someone who could convince the world that the real Marcus was dead.
“But why?” Evelyn asked.
Daniel pointed to the corporate ownership documents.
“Because Marcus changed his will.”
Evelyn read the final clause.
If Marcus died under suspicious circumstances, control of Blackwood Industries would temporarily pass to Evelyn.
Not the board.
Not his family.
Her.
Suddenly the entire mystery became clear.
Someone needed Evelyn dead before midnight.
Because if she survived—
she would own everything.
Then Lily entered the room.
She held an old photograph.
“That's my daddy.”
Evelyn stared.
The man in the picture was Marcus.
But Lily wasn't pointing at him.

She was pointing at the man standing beside him.
The man with Marcus's face.
